Sir Keir Starmer takes HIV test in effort to reduce stigma

Sir Keir Starmer has taken a public HIV test at 10 Downing Street, becoming the first G7 leader to do so, to promote awareness during National HIV Testing Week.
During the week, 20,000 free, confidential at-home tests will be available to the public, as around 107,000 people live with HIV in the UK.
Starmer has committed to ending new HIV transmissions in England by 2030, supported by a £27 million funding for testing programs.
Critics have labeled the public test a 'stupid PR stunt,' while advocates highlight its importance in reducing stigma and promoting awareness.
